Is any of this known yet (my arena shooter worthyness checklist)

-is there a fov slider
-does the mouse sensitivity slider have integer values or some shitty stepping/non descript bar
-is there any kind of mouse smoothing/acceleration or input lag whatsoever
-can you turn off that godawful shitty bloom completely
- is there a strafejump speed modifier like in quake/rtcw/cs/ut
-how is visibility of enemies against the background (can't tell in the video because i'm blinded by the bloom and the youtube compression, but it does not look promising)

weapon pickups, the movement speed etc look good in the videos but every single attempt at an arena shooter/oldschool shooter lately has been a miserable failure that completely missed the point.

Been dying to find a fun new arena shooter.

 

[Refyref]

Well, this isn't exactly an arena shooter, just an old-school one. Unless I have a weird definition of arena shooters.

Speaking of which, has there even been an arena shooter made in the last few years, other than Nexuiz?

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

I'm beyond excited for tomorrow! Totally contemplating on taking a day off.

 

[codhand]

freaking wednesday releases, why is there no monday releases huh!!!

[sigh] ...sorry for yelling, i just, want to play the game so bad :_(

Well, the multiplayer probably qualifies as an "arena shooter."

So pumped for this. I hope they haven't tried to update the gameplay or done anything dumb like that. I miss the simplicity of games like this and Doom.

I hope they at least updated it to Doom level as the original Rise of the Triad was very simplistic (basically Wolfenstein 3D with better visuals).

It was better than W3D, IMO, but yea, not nearly Doom level.

yeah it did start off as Wolfenstein 3D II: Rise of the Triad, made with the same engine. But when ID started to promote Doom as the next big thing they revoked the license. The developers then just went balls out with the crazy stuff and removed most of the original visuals.

Gestapo enemies are still quite familiar and it is filled with secrets and collectables The engine limitations did hold them back though compared to Doom.

 

[Nabs]

Can't wait, bought a four pack and gave the other three away as prizes for the Quake Live tourney. Gotta spread the awesome.

For some reason I thought this wasn't until August, but holy shit it's Wednesday

I would have practiced lol

The bolded points have been answered in a thread on the Steam forums (can't look it up right now, not at home)
FOV slider is in (can be altered via console even)
Mouse settings can be altered via console
There is bunny hopping in multiplayer.

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

SOON.

YES! PRELOADING ASAP!

 

[codhand]

ZMOG@!$

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

Also, ROTT is the top seller on GMG. YES! The more people buying and playing this the better! I'm hoping it does really well and I hope the modding community really takes off. I really miss arena shooters with awesome modding communities that make the game last an additional 3-4 years. I'm hoping ROTT goes that route.

 

[Storm360]

Of course my internet is being slow, oh well, at least it can be slow during pre-load

The original ROTT was a single player game first, multiplayer second.

 

[darkressurection]

Man, I wish that this was unlocking at midnight tonight. I want to turn people into Ludicrous Gibs already.

 

[codhand]

preloaded, ok now what?

 

[SlasherJPC]

I'll be uploading my first hour with this tomorrow. It's extremely fast paced. I got lost a few times, and had a good time. This is new yet old school in alot of great ways.

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

preloaded, ok now what?

 

[Tain]

I want to try this.

For shits, is there a lot of non-hitscan enemy fire?

 

[codhand]

got lost a few times, and had a good time.

omg you got lost? hype X ten

 

[NIN90]

nvm

 

[KittenMaster]

I got lost a few times,

*shakes fist at Tom Hall*

 

[Big_Al]

omg you got lost? hype X ten

Reposting Sinatars link from earlier in the thread

 

[SlasherJPC]

omg you got lost? hype X ten

Not ALOT... but just a little , granted the first hour in my video is only like the first three levels and a look at an empty multiplayer room. I'll post it asap tommorrow morning.

Why isn't this unlocking at midnight? Isn't that normal procedure?

 

[Spoo]

Bought. Something great to nibble on while I wait for the entree that will be Shadow Warrior.

 

[e_i]

One more day. Seriously, it unlocks tomorrow afternoon EST?

 

[DaveOshry]

GET. HYPE.

Also, PRE LOAD ON STEAM!

GOG version releases like 8 hours earlier btw. #Poland

 

[a secret-boss]

FUUUUU
I was going to wait for a deal to buy this.

FUCK IT. Preloading

 

[NIN90]

GMG has the game for 12€ and they also give you 3€ GMG credit for buying it effectively making it a 9€ purchase.

Pretty sure they do the same with funny american money too.

 

[DaveOshry]

Yes, GMG is the best deal. They are also super cool dudes. Would work with them again.

 

[Noisepurge]

ALMOST done with the pre-load!

 

[InsaneZero]

Preordered. The original was basically my first FPS, so I definitely wouldn't want to miss out on this.

 

[Nokterian]

PRE LOADED THIS BITCH!

And so the waiting begins...

 

[Chucker]

Preordered in the beginning of July.
Bury me in a lunchbox until it unlocks.

 

[KittenMaster]

Finally preloaded!!


....


I'm gonna cry.

 

[Big_Al]

Pre-loaded.

OSHRY, ROTT, LET'S GO!

 

[Accoun]

Speaking of which, has there even been an arena shooter made in the last few years, other than Nexuiz?

Commercial, I don't think so. Warsow reached stable last year, the original, open-source Nexuiz is still in development, forked into Xonotic.
And that's probably all.

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

GET. HYPE.

FUUUUU! I WANT IT NOW! I wish I was off tomorrow. :\

 

[Tokubetsu]

GoG making me cry.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Speaking of which, has there even been an arena shooter made in the last few years, other than Nexuiz?"


Nope, just Nexuiz.

 

[codhand]

hey, you're a mod, make it midnight, eastern, now!...please.

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

hey, you're a mod, make it midnight, eastern, now!...please.

YES PLEASE!

 

[Dead Man]

hey, you're a mod, make it midnight, eastern, now!...please.

You mean midnight GMT+12, right? Right?

 

[codhand]

You mean midnight GMT+12, right? Right?

he's a mod, he can do both.

 

[Dead Man]

he's a mod, he can do both.

If he made it GMT+12, it would be unlocked now. Job done. Kickbacks would ensue, and banners would laud his name to the heavens.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I still haven't bought the game and I don't know why. I feel like a shithead.
